Charlottesville City Schools (CCS) is looking for a dynamic leader to become the next Superintendent of this great school system. The CCS Board seeks a gifted educator who has demonstrated success in helping every student succeed.

The City of Charlottesville is located in Central Virginia approximately 100 miles southwest of Washington, D.C. and 70 miles northwest of Richmond, Virginia.  The City is 10 square miles in size and is surrounded by Albemarle County

Set in the rolling green hills of a cherished historic landscape, home to one of the nation’s great universities, the University of Virginia, Charlottesville has become a favorite home for young professionals, families and retired people, who are drawn to its college-town vibe, great restaurant scene, vineyards, history, and celebrated intellectual and cultural life.

The City of Charlottesville Schools serves over 4300 students in a city of almost 50,000 citizens.  The diverse community highly  values education.  The Charlottesville City School division offers students a quality curriculum in a safe and positive environment.

Charlottesville maintains a highly rated public school system that non-residents are willing to pay tuition to attend. The system is intentional in its efforts to meet the differing needs of students, offering an array of Advanced Placement classes for high schoolers and pre-school programs for 3- and 4-year-olds.   The city also recently decided to spend $4 million to upgrade STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) facilities in its middle and high schools.

The CCS School Board hopes to name the new superintendent by September with a start date as soon thereafter as possible and no later than January 1, 2022.  Ability to be licensed as a superintendent in Virginia is required.
